what i dont understand abt this is that arcade games shove scoring in ur face every chance they can get, like every1 learns the expression "high score" as soon as they come out of the womb. and continues reset ur score to zero, so like why wouldnt "not resetting ur score to zero" be the entire point

Playing some T.R.A.G. tonight baybee.

The arcade bros are clowning on that Matthew Matosis video, lmao. Man does it suck.

I never thought I would be an 'emulation guy' but now I feel like Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live. Put on the fucking glasses man.

My Official Response to the State of Video Games in 2026:

There are people on Twitter lamenting the death of the PS1 emulator on PS3 and I need everyone to be so fucking serious right now.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Reposting because of the sony news

///NEW GAME RELEASE: [TOTAL CHAOS AGAINST APATHY] After 3 very long years since I released TraumaCore Violence, my new action game is finally out on steam!!! (link below!) store.steampowered.com/app/3613690/...

You don't own any of the physical games you already have for your PS5. Every game has day one patches and updates. Many require some kind of handshake with Sonys servers anyway. Doesn't make it right, but physical media is not the answer to games preservation. People haven't been paying attention.

Idk what it is, but that first moment of leaving the clinic in RE9 and looking outside, and realizing I was looking at the Arklay Mountains for the first time since 2002. Much moreso than revisiting the RPD, it’s the most “you’re home” moment in the whole game for me.

Finally finished Mina the Hollower. Still a lot left to do if I ever decide to do it, but I rarely have time to these days. Think I'm going to start up Elliot soon. Here's to hoping its more Ys than Zelda.

I bought the Patlabor OVA collection. You'd think for how much I love Mamoru Oshii I would've seen this years ago. I'll buy the three movies after I finish the OVA (they're expensive).

At the expense of vague-posting, I watched Matthew's new video and not only does it feel aimless in its direction, it's also ignorant of how games are designed. Just a very strange watch.

Growing up is realizing Matthew Matosis is a bad critic / analyst.

"you're scaring the hoes" ENOUGH. do not project your own cowardice unto the hoes. I have heard their words and seen their deeds, and you besmirch both. die where you stand

I'm fighting a lot of demons recently and I'm genuinely miserable. Just had to put this out there somehow because its creeping into a lot of facets of my life. Sorry if my behavior seems a little unorthodox.

yesterday at the galloping ghost arcade, i played the sailor moon game i’ve wanted to play since i was a kid in the 90s

If the normies had their way, Star Fox would be an open world game and you would walk around the deck of the Great Fox talking to the characters. There would be side-quests and a parry mechanic! Oh boy!

If you think the price of a video game should be determined by the amount of content it has or how long it takes to complete, you do not deserve human rights.

As someone who has been playing GTA since the original, I'm kind of baffled that its become the juggernaut that it is. I guess its just further proof that the average person does not view games as games, but as virtual spaces to walk around in. An issue that has perpetuated for decades.

Rockstar busting unions and permanently wrecking how we price releases to make the stiffest controlling game you’ve ever played

Star Fox

G-Darius: No-miss / 1CC. Took me around a week. Definitely harder than Darius Gaiden, but not for good reasons 😅. Regardless, this is one of the first shmups I fell in love with on the PSOne, so having a clear is super cool.

How the hell is everyone playing Star Fox so early?

Last time I was at the store with my parents, we were looking at novelty socks and my mom picked these up and said quietly, "Undertale?"

Incredible image of Amuro and the Dijeh.

And here we go. Already Ive been tricked into sending my penis to three of these so called "Group chats". I now have no choice but to shut down my alt where I pretend to be a 36 yr old Sex Worker from Brooklyn, offering my calloused, world weary perspective interspersed with moments of gentle warmth

was just trying to think of the name of this and all i could come up with for a second was "Mr. Pickles and Milk". thats not even close

BLUE REVOLVER DOUBLE ACTION is 50% off for Steam Bullet Fest!! store.steampowered.com/app/439490/B...

I’m not going to watch this thing but the idea that the Xbox is still a real console we have to pretend is viable feels like an elaborate fantasy you construct for a make a wish child.

My last Mario 64 painting is done

The era of Dad Games has ended. The dawn of Wifecore begins.

Movie of the year incoming: youtu.be/L24CYVpQ-LI?...

Official posters for Adam Wingard's ONSLAUGHT. A24 will release the trailer online tomorrow (6/2). In theaters September 4.

Mina the Hollower is incredible, but there are design choices that are going to alienate people. I'm not talking about its difficulty, but moreso how it handles hit-stun (there is none) and the flow of combat. The game REALLY wants you to use the dig mechanic for spacing and damage avoidance.

Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

I can finally show the kinds of evil little bastards I've been cooking up

It’s so beautiful…

When you gotta take them back to the past to play the shitty games that suck ass
